Trend of surgery for orbital cellulitis: an analysis of state inpatient databases.
This study examined trends in surgery for orbital cellulitis from 2008 to 2015. Retrospective data was extracted from AHRQ’s State Inpatient Databases (SIDs) and patients with an ICD9-CM diagnosis code for orbital cellulitis were identified from Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska, New York and Wisconsin. The number of hospitalizations declined from a high of 1,574 down to 865 in 2014. The number of surgeries ranged from 103 to 154 from 2008 to 2015. For children, surgery was associated with age, ophthalmologic cormobidity, and conjunctival edema. For adults - male gender, private insurance, optic neuritis, and cranial nervs III/VI/VI palsy were associated with surgery.

Cataract surgery complications and revisit rates among three states.
The authors studied cataract procedures from California, Florida, and New York, to characterize population-based 30-day procedure-related readmissions following surgery. Their results highlight the importance of age as a risk factor for cataract surgery readmissions, and suggest a relationship between black or Hispanic race, Medicaid insurance, and diabetes associated with higher risk for cataract surgery complications.
